We set sail yesterday, Monday 11th April for our passage to the Marquesas and after a predicted slow start managed to find some wind this morning and are now making good progress under sail.

Our daily position report will be sent at 12.00 local time which can be picked up in the UK at 17.00. Local time will change by another 4 hours as we head further west, a making a final time difference of GMT -10 hours.

Our days run for the last 24 hours was 124nm.

A Pipistrelle (Our Yacht Motif)

Why the name Pipistrelle? The previous owners called the yacht 'Batrachian' and fondly referred to her as 'The Bat'. A Pipistrelle is the smallest bat in the United Kingdom. Thus we have maintained a link between old and new.

Our Mantra

‘We sail and travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.’ Anon
